Halo Reloaded: Master Chief & more about Spartans
Born and raised on Eridanus-II, John Downes was the son of bioengineers and gardeners, who wanted to genetically modify Earth-plants to be sustainable on other planets (everyone, up until this point, had just been using the indigenous plants from the alien worlds they colonized); up until he was taken into the Spartan Program, John attended a school known as "The Reach For Life Foundation," a prestigious upper-class school (that was created on Reach before expanding out to the rest of the galaxy) designed to turn all of it's students into the next generation of pioneers, colonizers and explorers who will bring life into the uncharted reaches of space. Humanity came in contact with The Covenant in the year 2511. The Spartan Program saw production in 2517; most of the Spartans were born in the year 2528, while John Downes was born in the year 2530. That two year gap may as well have been a chasm between him and his brothers-&-sisters-in-arms. But, like in canon, the main reason why John was chosen despite being everyone's junior was because he still exhibited the exact same unique genetic-markers that all of the others do. With John being the youngest, he's needed to prove himself to the others by working and training thrice as hard as everyone else; his angst comes from the fact that, because he's the youngest, he's the most generic one of the group. He's not the fastest (that's Kelly), not the strongest (that's Samuel), not the biggest (that's Jorge), the best combatant (Fred), the best at weaponry (Vannak), the best at demolitions (James), the best shot (both Linda & Kai, who are rivals to each other, beat John out), the smartest (Riz), the best pilot (Daisy), the best at technology (Joshua), the one with the best intuition (Kurt), or the most charismatic leader (Jerome); he's only really impressive in comparison to the standard marine, this angst he faces is something he later comes to accept as he gets older. He eventually embraces his status as 'The Generic One' and becomes the Jack-of-all-trades, the one everyone can lean on for just about anything; the "Swiss-Army Spartan," if you will. They all got augmented, and the rest is history; but it wasn't until Operation SILENT STORM, the Spartans' FIRST mission as Spartans, where John was given the rank of "Master Chief Petty Officer," the highest rank a non-commissioned serviceman in the Navy can attain; he even got his first metal, "The Purple Heart," after he got shot on the line of duty (and survived, obviously). When he was a kid, before being inducted, John had discovered an ancient Forerunner rock (not that anyone knew what it was) that had almost possessed him; his obssession over it resulted in his father forcing John to bury the drawings he made of it in the backyard. The training and conditioning of the Spartan Progran, while not designed to brainwash anyone, did result in John repressing any memory of the rock. In the present (2552), John had discovered a similar rock during an extraction mission on Biko, which brought a terrifying wave of memories back to him; this drives him to rediscover the rock he found as a kid back on Eridanus-II, in cave beneath the abandoned ruins of his father's old Solar-Paneled Garden Field. After some back and forth battles between The UNSC and The Covenant, John is quick to deduce that the rock he found on Biko is a keystone to the artifact that he found as a kid; with two rocks joined together, they create a starmap that leads to the one thing The Covenant had been after this entire time: Halo.
Spartans are much younger here than in canon, being in their early 20s as opposed to being in their 50s like in the show and the games. Their youth, combined with their less traumatizing upbringing, makes them more colorful in their personalities (still professional and their canon personalities are about the same, but they're less sociopathically brusque and terse like in-canon). Super-Soldiers in media are usually portrayed with two major qualities: Extreme Aggression and Complete Obedience. They're designed to be ruthless killers, desensitized to violence, who are more aggressive than the average soldier, as they are more than willing to make the hard-choices and will not stop until their opponents are dead ("They [Spartans] just... keep killing. Until there's nothing. Left. To kill... You in or out?" - Angus; Halo, Season 1 - Episode 1) and the battle is won. As for complete obedience? Well, that's self-explanatory; they are happiest when given an order and only do what's asked of them ("Good soldiers follow orders." - Crosshairs; The Bad-Batch). The Spartans as seen in Halo Reloaded are the opposite. They're trained in: Lateral Thinking, Improvisation and Freestyling. They're very creative, on and off the field, people who are capable of salvaging a busted plan and thinking on their feet in the midst of high-stress situations; which is precisely why they're so good at their jobs, BECAUSE they're not dependant on the word of their superiors. They're less an army of Robocops and moreso an army of Captain Americas. John himself, particularly in his later years at 22, is a more "Commander Shepard' type of person: Swashbuckling, noble, still emotionally guarded but far less traumatized, charismatic (again not as much as Jerome) and often goes with the flow. He's still much more brusque and aggressive in comparison to the other more lively Spartans (the others often call him "the mean one"), but he's still as nice and compassionate as he's always been.

About the New Ultimate Spider-Man
So yesterday it was confirmed that the new Ultimate Spider-Man book that was going to be written by Jonathan Hickman would be about an older Peter Parker, who in this new Ultimate Universe is married to Mary Jane Watson and has two kids. Here are the covers and pictures with that confirmations:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I am so fucking excited for this book after this confirmation because before yesterday, we didn't really know if Jonathan Hickman was going to be writing about Peter Parker. The only thing we knew was that he was writing about an older Spider-Man, so to see these covers as confirmation and to see Peter and MJ have kids is so fucking refreshing.
I kind of fell off Amazing Spider-Man after Nick Spencer's run because throughout his whole run he was teasing that Peter and MJ were going to be back together again, maybe even married, but it never happened. My best guess as to why is because Marvel Editorial intervened and that's why Nick Spencer's last arc in the series and the reveal of who kindred was became weak. That's just my speculation though. I feel like Marvel does not want this character to ever grow up, so he's kind of stuck in this arrested development where he can grow for just a tiny bit only to be knocked back down to status quo.
I'm really excited for this series. I have not finished Ultimate Invasion yet, so when i do I'll talk about that on here. I just hope Jonathan Hickman does this character justice. I know a married Peter Parker isn't new. Dan Slott wrote Renew Your Vows which I loved. However, that title is gone and it really is nice to have a married Peter and MJ after not liking what they've been offering in the current Amazing Spider-Man title.
Also, I really hope Hickman stays on this title for a long time and that Marvel let's him do what he wants without too much interference. This isn't the main universe Peter Parker, so I don't think it'll be a problem.
By the way, I don't know if this is because Marvel has teased me so much and for so long, but as much as I'm optimistic about this title, there's also a small part of my brain that think that this is all a ruse or a lie of some kind. Like Peter and MJ are not actually together and in this title, they're divorced who hates each other's guts. That is just the paranoid person in me talking. However, you can't really blame me for thinking that way because Marvel has teased this pairing so much only to go back on their word. I guess I'll just have to wait and read the book to see if my optimistic side is right or the paranoid side of me is right.
Thanks for reading this. I'm going to go read some comics and maybe I'll talk to you guys again.

Why is Peter standing like that??... what exactly is it, that he's trying to communicate with us?? 🧐

Okay so the unlettered solicit for the new Ultimates title came out reccently, and for some reason this side detail stuck out to me:
Tumblr media
It's Clint Barton doing the classic 'Spider-Man No More cover', only for Hawkeye.
Cool easter egg aside, this means that Tony went to give Clint his destiny like he did for Peter Parker. Only it didn't work and Clint quit being a hero. That means the Ultimate Universe won't have Hawkeye. Not that Hawkeye at least. That's right...
Tumblr media
It's time for Kate Bishop.
I had a suprising amount of thoughts about this so, I'll leave them below.
Whilst this is just my wild speculation, the possibility of it has me excited. The original Ultimate Kate Bishop (seen below) was really underwhelming to me. She was just a goth girl who dated, and was forced to betray, Miles Morales.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Maybe Bendis or someone was planning to make her something else later, but she's not the badass she is in 616. Earth-6160 has the chance to change that.
One thing I love about Kate Bishop is just how... individual she is. I think stuff like the MCU has made people see Kate as just Clint's protogee, when in actuality that isn't true. She was already Hawkeye when Clint was dead. And when they first meet, they don't even get along right away (they're besties later don't worry). She didn't really need help becmong a hero, and the same can be true in this world without heroes.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The thing is Kate didn't even plan on being Hawkeye. It just happened that she picked up his bow along with Mockingbird and Swordsman's gear to help the Young Avengers and, after Hawkingbird was shot down, the Hawkeye mantle stuck. It came out of necessity, not idolism.
Tumblr media
And the same could happen in the Ultimate Universe. They're clearly okay playing fast and loose with character ages compared to 616, focusing on ages that make a good story rather than mirroring main continuity, and an older adult street-level hero is a great part of an Avengers team. So I could definitely see an older-than-usual Kate getting fast-tracked into taking up the bow to become this universe's main Hawkeye.
Anyway, that's enough of me hyperfixating on a minor detail in a comic preview. It could all be nothing and Clint could come back (wouldn't be mad, I love Clint) but in a line that's all about reinventing classic Marvel mythology I think this would work. And that's my case for why Kate should be this generation's Ultimate Hawkeye.
